# Create a note

Logs a note on the timeline of the contacts, companies or deals it is associated with.

Set `hs_timestamp` (required) and `hs_note_body`, and add an `associations` object to attach the note to existing records. The hosted MCP server writes notes through `manage_crm_objects`, the same tool that writes contacts.

## Set up

Use the first option your agent supports.

### API (official)

- Base URL: https://api.hubapi.com
- Endpoint: `POST /crm/objects/2026-09/notes`
- Auth: send the header `Authorization: Bearer $HUBSPOT_API_KEY`
- Docs: https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api-reference/latest/overview

Before doing anything else, make one read-only call to confirm access.

## Rules

- Ask the user before anything that sends messages, costs money, or changes data.
- Never print API keys.
